Fifty-fifty

[insert quote here]

People often ask now if I'm excited for the new school year. Sure. But eager? Well, not as eager as last time, but I suppose it will be fun. Mostly. I still have not received a list of supplies to get, which is frightening, and I despise the way they teach science in my county. I love science, just not in school. But I'll be taking English III - and I love English, in case you hadn't realized - and French I and II. French should be interesting; they probably won't actually teach us the language, more just a few snippets plus some culture and maybe history, but it ought to be fun anyhow. I'm taking the actual language on LiveMocha.

I'll get to see friends. Also unfriends - what I just now decided to call people who would be enemies but are simply not worth it. I find it better not to waste my time with scummy folk. But overall I'm going to welcome another year at Hogw--er, Cary High. It'll probably be over before I know it, seeing how fast these things go.

I need some tea, and the Chihuahua needs an oatmeal bath.

Au revoir,

Lewis

Inheritance!!!! =D

It's been confirmed: The fourth and final novel in Christopher Paolini's epic Inheritance cycle, itself titled Inheritance, is due November 8. I first tried to read Eragon (the first one) when I was ten, and ended up finishing it when I was eleven-going-on-twelve. I loved it. The movie was rather disappointing, but still OK. I'm listening to "Battle for Varden" from the soundtrack now. I might have mentioned in an earlier post that I won an Eldest preview CD at the midnight release party for Half-Blood Prince. I loved Eldest and later Brisingr, but the first holds a special place in my heart. I've waited quite a while for this, eager but patient, and now it's payed off. The cover features the green dragon mentioned in one of the other books, and it looks awesome. I heard it is going to be really long, but bring it on: I love things with epic scope. Speaking of which, I still need to finish The Stand, which had about 400 pages left for me (my edition has 1,141, so that's not a lot). But for now, I read Mockingjay. Toodles!

Peace and love,
Lewis
